SENATE TO VOTE ON REVISED BAILOUT WED. EVE. REP. DEFAZIO SAYS TO FLOOD THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD - ATTACHING B/O TO ANOTHER BILL

I did something this week I thought I wold never do. I thanked Rep DeFazio for voting no on the bailout bill. It was through his office, but the deed was done none the less. Peter and I used to go loggerheads at town halls when I actually had time for such things. When the personal "thank you" goes out, should he hold firm, he will probably choke on his icewater.

Don't get me wrong, I think Pete is a nice guy, but I also believe his voting record is well to the left of center. This vote alone might persuade me to not oppose his reelection through my twice yearly precinct walk.

As to his alternative, well the correct alternative should be to return to an asset based economy, a return to sound money, or at least the repeal of the Federal Reserve, but I did not see any of that in his alternative.

but man I'm depressed. There needs to be a Plan B, and I don't know what that is.

The worst moment in Congress since 1913.

I want to see indictments, not leglislative bills that puts the fox in charge of the hen house! Freeze their assets and sell them to fund this bail out of the billionaire bankers. VOTE NO! I don't need to be "educated" to know when I'm getting screwed without a kiss!

Liberty and Justice for All,
MAINSTREET AMERICA

I e-mailed, FL Nelson D,and Martinez R.

Hedge Funds, the very nature of these funds are at high risk and are pursued by high risk seekers in the hope to get a great return. They did not go into this with their eyes closed but wide open, yet to command that I cover their losses is unconstitutional and obscured.
The Congress needs to go back to the drawing board. Seek the advice of experts, not employed by the government, remove any Congressman who has received donations from any banker/investment firm/or insurance company. This may prove to be a daunting task, however if it is not accomplished then the taxpayers can not get an equitable bill here.
The whole basic reason we find our country in such a crisis now is the greed, false loyalty, and back door deals that have infected our government and investors. Find Congress members with out an agenda of their own.
I look forward to seeing you among the honorable Statesman who, in this pressured Senate vote, NAY to this bill HR3997

Sincerely yours,

I just called my senators again. Let's do this all day.

I written every Senator, called both of my Senators...told Lindsey Graham that I would vote against him if he voted for this bill. Of course, I planned on voting against him anyway.

and all I want is a NO vote from the senate. Please let's make it happen. Thanks to all.

I cant get through to the Capitol Switch Board..So..Ive taken to calling ALL local offices for Dole and Burr..I got all of hers but all of his are busy...Knowing that lil weasle hes tossed his phones off the hook..But Doles offices have only 2 of 3 people answering phones..I was told each phone has 5 lines and they are all ringing. The lady at one office told me the second she hangs up..it rings again...And the Dole Raleigh office is in a state..of panic..but she is voting NO on the bill....Burr..her office told me..is voting Yes..still..what an idiot...I figure Burr isnt taking calls cause hes to busy kissing McCains ass..
Does anyone have a phone number to the NY Times and the Washington Post?..If you cant get through to them one way..(or more than one..emails..faxes..phone calls to the Capitol) why not add bomb the newspapers..tv stations...(I might have to drink lysol after talking to FAUX..just to kill the germs)

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

All who vote for this need to be hanged literally for treason!

I say hang them by their tongues!

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

I have several friends I email the numbers for the main switchboard and our representative numbers to and they all seem to be busy. How am I supposed to get through to these people if they dont have enough phone lines.

Seems to me that if we want to take power away from the elite who benefit from the Federal government, then people need to stop holding and investing in T-bills and put wealth in their own bank. An investment in T-bills empowers the elitists controlling the Federal government. Remember T-bills are just paper, just like FRNs. Withdrawling our investment is their biggest fear. Holding onto T-bills locks up dollars as they say. I suggest investing in something other than T-bills such as physical food, supplies, silver and gold. These items stimulate our economy and the individual is empowered. But, what the hell do I know?

Tell them NO BAILOUT...then tell them you pass that bill..Im Closing My Bank Accounts!!!....When you mention closing the accounts..cashing in everything..it makes them nervous..

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

I've called my senators in NJ and told them we know they co-opted HR 3997 to get the bailout the bankers want, even though it was defeated by the house of representatives. We know their dirty tricks and theirs going to be hell to pay if this goes through. Also I told them to vote for HR 2775 to abolish the Fed and to ask for the resignation of Paulson, Bernanke, and Cox.

Dear Senator Gregg,

Good morning!

Along with my fellow citizens across the country, I raised my voiced against the bail-out and was relieved that Congress listened, and very proud that my NH Congresspeople followed suit.

Please do not let the Senate circumvent the will of the people. Let the banks fail and undo if they must; let them lean themselves of their largess caused by fractional banking; let the free market fix this mess, not Paulson and all the rest that held causal roles in it.

In the end, I would meet a hard and rocky economic road ahead with a smile and determination as long as I knew that that road's destination was one DETERMINED by the people and PROTECTED by their elected officials and NOT twisted and muddled and pot-holed by a select few with corporate interests -- interests that the average American shall never fall privy to but will be ultimately be affected by.

To let the profits of these banks be gifted to shareholders and CEOs while the losses shared among taxpayers is certainly unjust and dare I say --- just about criminal.

Please, I plead with you, vote 'no' on a revised bail-out this Wednesday.

Thank you and God Bless!

It couldn't be much of a crisis if so.

More likely, the powers that be needed a little time to bribe/blackmail certain congressmen into voting for the next bill.

Speaking of this bill, has it changed since Monday?

made some interesting comments yesterday on the liberal Tom Hartmann's radio show: says Goldman Sachs had a lot invested in AIG, and this is one reason why they so called bailed out AIG, if AIG would go down, GS would also go down. Also important is that he says many of AIG's business units are actually very profitable, and they could have separated the company from the loss making units. He also mentioned the monopoly that Paulson would have to decide who merge with whom, who goes down etc... all in the interest of Goldman Sachs.

Also interesting on Larry King Palin's position on the bailout was touched upon by James Carville. Michelle Bachmann, who voted NO on the bailout and is an admirer of Palin, indicated we have to wait till the debate with Biden. Palin has already indicated her support on the Katie Couric interview.

Thursday even is going to be the debate as well as the vote of congress. It is going to be very interesting when Palin supports the bail-out, but Bachmann and other pro-Palin congressmen/women vote NO!

Signs 600m into law. They still want to ram 700 M up our (excuse me )down our throats !!!!!!!!

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=71000&sectionid=3510203

They are trying to kill the dollar !!!!!!!!

NO BAILOUT, NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!!!!

No bailout, "rescue", puppy dogs for orphans, or whatever other insulting, patronizing names are devised to mask this brazen HEIST by the Wall St. elites and their co-conspirators in government.

I am opposed to this type of legislation in any way shape or form. I don't care how it is dressed up or mitigated. I don't care if provisions are added to provide a free house for every man, woman and child in the country, or to require every corrupt, overcompensated CEO to pick up trash by the side of the highway for all of eternity.

The correct action for congress to take to address the "crisis" is NO action. Please! You've done too much already! Just get out of the way!

More and more people are discovering the truth every day. You would be surprised at how many of your constituents understand that government intervention of the type created by the bailout plan serves only to covertly transfer wealth from average people to financial elites through monetary inflation, and furthermore cannot "soften" or reverse a recession, but can only worsen and prolong it by preventing the liquidation of bad assets and further perpetuating the malinvestment that caused the crisis.

Please consider your vote carefully. There is a rapid shift in consciousness occurring. The political class is in the process of losing all credibility in the eyes of the average person who still bothers to vote.

I used one of the letters below as a template and simplified it somewhat. Here is the version I sent to my senators:

---

Dear Senator [last name]:

I recently called your office to express that I do -not- support the $700 billion economic bailout bill. I remain strongly opposed to it, and do not want any government bailouts or help in response to the current economic crisis. I expect a "nay" vote from you on any further legislation regarding or including any portion of this bill.

I understand that there is a huge economic crisis. However, I and many others I know are prepared to weather the storm, including a possible depression. We would rather suffer now than have the suffering prolonged by having said legislation enacted.

The current economic crisis is the direct result of artificially low interest rates and a debt-based monetary policy established by the Federal Reserve Bank. No amount of government bailout or intervention will correct this problem. In fact, it will merely serve to prop up a system that private investors are not willing to support. This bill will do immense harm to the free market principles upon which our nation and economy are based. Thank you very much for reading my message.

Regards,
[my name]

No banker bailout!
Listen to history:

The 1907 US recession ended quickly because they let the bad institutions default and be bought out.

The 1929 depression languished because of government intervention.

The 1966 Japan recession ended quickly because they let the bad institutions default and be bought out.

The 1990s Japan recession languished because of government intervention.

Listen to history! No banker bailout!

No Difference in the Bill, STILL $700 Billion at one time, multiple times if desired!!!

Section 115
